Bio

Left-arm opening bowler Gary Putland is known as The Iceman after his final-over heroics in the 2011-12 Ryobi Cup final against Tasmania guided South Australia to their first domestic title in 25 years.

With Tasmania only three wickets down and needing five runs to win, Putland dismissed George Bailey before restricting the Tigers to just four runs to see South Australia claim the title as the highest-ranked team.

Putland has also made an impression in Sheffield Shield cricket, highlighted by his match haul of 12-92 at the start of the 2012-13 season against Victoria, before he was struck down by injury.

Having made his one-day debut for South Australia in 2005 in a side that included Greg Blewett and Matthew Elliott, it took Putland another five years until he made his first-class debut.
